Summer 201 marches along and we have a bit of a reprieve from the blasting heat we have been experiencing. This happens just in time for the family picnics and outings in celebration of Independence Day. One of the biggest celebrations in the North Texas area is Addison’s Kaboom Town this July 3rd. With cooler temps more people will seek the perfect spot to watch what is included in the top ten fireworks displays in the country. But this year is a bit different than in years past. Stay with us to find out the details and how you can win some fun Kaboom Town prizes.

I order to alleviate the growing traffic concerns admission to the watching grounds will be limited, so you will need to make plans early to gain access to the activities and bands inside the grounds near Addison Circle.

This year more restaurants and pubs will be stepping up their activities to entertain you and your guests. Parking is always a premium, so you will want to arrive early. There are plenty of activities happening including one amazing air show to entertain the crowds that arrive before the fireworks.

We had Richard Chamberlain on our craveRADIO program yesterday and he said that at his Chamberlains Fish Market located directly under the sweet spot for viewing the fireworks he will be hosting a party for his guests, and also offering up a special 3 course dinner. You will want to call for reservations.

We have several gift cards for restaurants to give away for the big day including Lazaranda, Thai Orchid, McFadden’s and Texas de Brazil. To win one of the cards make a comment below. We will select a random person for each card and have them available Tuesday afternoon for pick up. Have a safe and happy holiday!

I remember Kaboom Town from it’s fledgling days ;oh how it has changed. Setting up lawn chairs anywhere on Belt Line Rd that we could see the fireworks with our family and friends is a great memory. Then the Park days of blankets,coolers and our now older kids and their friends; too bad it now has limitations but do understand . Love 4th of July and love the Kaboom Town experience. I hope to win one of the CRAVE prizes. . .

Traffic would improve at this event if the Addison Police would leave the traffic lights ON and let the public do what they do every day during rush hour. Police directing traffic is what causes most of the delay and it is insane when you have to be stuck for an hour just to go half a mile and they won’t let anyone go north!
